Little Minea was sitting with her food, already holding a small piece in her tiny hands. It was time to eat, and everything seemed normal at first.
She took a bite.
But then—
She looked around.
Mom wasn’t right beside her.
Minea’s face suddenly changed. Her eyes widened, and her tiny body became tense. Even though she had food, something felt wrong.
She couldn’t see Mom.
“Eee…?”
The soft sound quickly turned into something louder.
“EEEEEE!”
Minea started screaming loudly, her mouth wide open while still holding her food. The little monkey looked around again and again, clearly searching for Mom.
“Eee! Eee!”
She waved one hand in the air and made sharp cries, even as she continued chewing. It was a mix of eating and calling at the same time.
The scene was both dramatic and a little funny.
Food was in her hand—but her heart wanted Mom.
Her cries grew louder as she leaned forward, trying to spot her. She didn’t care about the food anymore. She just wanted to see Mom nearby.
Mom quickly heard the noise.
She walked back into the room, and the moment Minea saw her, everything changed.
The screaming stopped instantly.
Minea’s eyes focused on Mom, and her body relaxed. She quietly continued eating, as if nothing had happened.
The tension disappeared.
Now calm again, the little monkey happily enjoyed her food, reassured that Mom was close.
For Minea, even while eating, nothing mattered more than knowing Mom was always nearby.
